Talking to a news daily, an eyewitness said, “The incident happened moments after Salman arrived at Anil Kapoor’s birthday bash. Just a few moments before this, Anil had escorted Salman’s father, Salim Khan, into the party.

Salman was alighting from his car when all of a sudden a man, who appeared to be in his mid-20s and called himself Ajay, rushed towards him, hugged him and then kissed him.”

“It seems Salman was in very high spirits. Without batting an eyelid, Salman slapped Ajay”, said the eyewitness.

Apparently, Ajay, who was least prepared for Salman’s wrath, was in an utter state of shock.

Seconds after the recording was deleted, the stars went into the house. The party, which included B-town stars like Boney Kapoor, Karan Johar and Rani Mukerji, continued till dawn.
